okie time to do the brakes on me line, mine are FCKED!!

so i need something slotted like DBA 5000s or something but ghey autobarn rekon they dont make 5000s for GTSts, only GTRs, so i need somewhere that sells brake rotors/pads that will fit my line, but i want good ones that will last a while and brake hard and wont crack etc like drilled ones do

cheers :)

Banana... rule #1

dont go to autobhan.

second... you need a set of 4000 (not 5000) series rotors.

Racebrakes will be the best price.

Pads, again just get RB74's.

Just come down with me in a few weeks and hpe they dont remember you lol

DBA 5000s are only for GTRs unfortunately.

But you can get DBA 4000s for all skyline models, look on:

http://www.dba.com.au/catalogue/pdf/online...4000_online.pdf

For an r33 gtst, the part numbers are 4963 for front, and 4908 for rear. You can get them in plain, slotted , crossdrilled or slotted and cross drilled.

You can use the DBA 5000s for the GTR on your GTS, its just that they arent bolt on, you will need a bracket to relocate the caliper to allow for the additional diameter of the rotor...no biggie, thats how i am able to use 330mm rotors, (ok they may be 324 or 328mm, i cant remember exactly)

It was Race Brakes in Sydney that actually did my conversion, and they were going to use the DBA 5000 series on my R32, but 3 weeks before i was going to do the upgrage i ran out of pads at a track day and ruined the std rotors, so was a pay cheque short so just got one piece rotors instead. Same diameter though

i cant really be bothered with modifying stuff like that

are the 5000s *that* much better than 4000s ? or are 4000s awesome ? what pads should i use ? bendix ultimates ?

whats average cost for supplying 4000 series rotors front n abck in slotted (do i really need slotteds on back or is it waste of money ?) and prices on pads anyone know ? ill fit myself providing its all bolt up stuff :(

I got a quote last week from racebrakes for slotted 4000's - front and back were the same price and about $340 each from memory (have it written down at home)

5000's were about $560 - but replacement disks were only $300 or so.

The non slotted 4000's for rears were $265. I was going for these as a) slotted aint really needed for rears and B) will wear your rear pads out a lot less.

Also - if you aint going to get racebrakes to fit the rotors - maybe check out these guys if you know the part numbers. They seem to have a good deal on 4000's including motul brake fluid - free freight too.

As stated, you can actually get the 5000 series for a GTS-t.

I'm getting them put on my R31 :)

It's getting technical but when you use the 5000 series you can customise your offset.

It just costs a little more initially

There is no difference between DBA4000 & DBA5000 in terms of how they work.

The are identical.

The difference lies in how they are designed.

The 5000 are a two-piece rotor.

The 4000 are a one piece rotor.

Does that make sense? If not i'll explain to you tomorrow Nathan.

DJ save your money. About $500 - 600 for a full set of slot front and plain vented rear (you don't need slots there) and allow 300 for racebrakes pads full set. Call Lalor brake and clutch as I am real happy with my braking on the track (except when the old pads self destruct on the rear)

I will guarantee that with the same tyres and no ABS you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the wanky name brand stuff and the BDA (not DBA) discs. Just do the pads over the phone and racebrakes won't know you.

Im with Geoff, the std Nissan gear is great at the track, good fluid and pads is all you need, perhaps braided lines if you are a good enough driver to exploit the better feel through the pedal (im not...but i have them anyway in case one day i get a clue)

The std stuff only becomes an issue when you are running sticky tyres and have plenty more power then std, and driving on a circuit. You are a brave man to find the limits of the factory brakes on the street.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
